Abstract

A vending machine operating system architecture connects vending machine peripherals of different communication standards to a main vending machine controller. One way to connect the two disparate buses is to use a UART device for each. An even more cost effective approach is to use a communications coprocessor (which is at least equivalent to a UART device) to which each of the two disparate buses is selectively connected by a multiplexer under the control of the main vending machine controller.
